Effortlessly Parse Email Content with n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Automate the extraction of structured data from unstructured email bodies using this n8n workflow. This tool simplifies data processing by turning raw email content into usable key-value pairs, perfect for downstream automation.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow, "Email body parser by aprenden8n.com," provides a robust solution for extracting specific information from email content. It leverages a custom JavaScript function to parse an email body based on predefined labels. The workflow starts with a manual trigger, followed by a 'Set values' node to define the email body and the labels to extract (e.g., Name, Email, Subject, Message). The core logic resides in the 'Email Parser Snippet' function node, which uses regular expressions to find and capture the values associated with each label, transforming unstructured text into a structured JSON object. This is invaluable for automating tasks that require pulling key details from emails, such as lead generation, customer support ticket management, or order processing.
Key Features
- Customizable Label Extraction: Easily define which pieces of information (labels) you want to extract from the email body.
- Robust Parsing Logic: Utilizes regular expressions for flexible and accurate data extraction.
- Structured Output: Converts unstructured email text into a clear JSON object for further processing.
- Manual Trigger Ready: Simple to initiate and test directly from the n8n interface.
- Extendable Workflow: Can be seamlessly integrated into larger automation pipelines.
How To Use
- Trigger the Workflow: Click the 'On clicking 'execute'' node to manually initiate the workflow.
- Define Your Email Content: In the 'Set values' node, update the 'body' field with the actual email text you want to parse and the 'labels' field with a comma-separated list of the data points you wish to extract.
- Review Extracted Data: The 'Email Parser Snippet' node will process the input. The output will be a JSON object containing the extracted key-value pairs based on your specified labels. You can then connect this output to further nodes for processing, storage, or sending to other services.
